If you are going to put velocity curves on the controller itself then you are going to lose<br>responsiveness, no? Midi only supports a 7 bit velocity: if the curve is on the controller<br>then a non-linear curve implies some of the 127 values have to be duplicated and some<br>will not be used - that implies you have lost sensitivity in the touch response.<br><br>If is far wiser to to pass a full linear resolution to the application, let it convert that into<br>an internal curve that generates floats and can thus provide a far smoother curve. It also<br>makes programming the controller simpler as it will be able to avoid implementing a<br>feature that the app/softsynth has to do anyway and can probably do better than MIDI.<br><br>Regards, nick.<br><br>"we have to make sure the old choice [Windows] doesn't disappear”.<br>Jim Wong, president of IT products, Acer<br><br><br><br><br><hr id="stopSpelling">Date: Sun, 4 Oct 2009 08:50:48 +0200<br>From: f.rech@yahoo.fr<br>To: rosea.grammostola@gmail.com<br>CC: linux-audio-user@lists.linuxaudio.org<br>Subject: Re: [LAU] From audio synthesis environment to plugin<br><br>

<pre>supercollider seems like a no go<br><br>pd has some possibilitites, the easiest would be to make the <br><a class="ecxmoz-txt-link-freetext">http://www-crca.ucsd.edu/~jsarlo/pdvst/</a> work on linux.

<pre>A little OT, but when you talk about VST (hardware) hosts (see other <br>thread), you got a lot of replies and also comments that we don't need <br>VST cause we have enough plugins...<br> <br>But you don't get many response, when you actually have a idea to <br>improve the plugin situation in a GPL manner...<br><br>Maybe people think the plugin situation on Linux doesn't have to be <br>improved, but I can't believe (sorry about that) a zynaddsubfx (which <br>acts pretty unstable with jack and have clicks and pops) and plugins <br>like hexter can satisfy the needs of, let's call them professionals.<br><br>\r<br> </pre>

A little delayed, but like to know :<br>
<br>
What Linux applis are you using to have sound for "replace" :<br>
-piano<br>
-electric piano<br>
-trompet<br>
-sax<br>
-trombone<br>
-drums<br>
-violin<br>
-etc ?<br>
<br>
Personnaly, don't use VST, but orchestration is really reduced in terms
of instruments,<br>
let say it's a good opportunity to improve my guitar and bass play !<br>
<br>
Thanks for answers,<br>
